FACULTY Miss Marie McCready, registrar, is one of the busiest persons in San Diego High School. Her office is constantly besieged by students who seek advice, and all who confer with her find her a helpful and sympathetic adviser. Miss McCready has charge of the records of students' grades and credits, all of which are filed in her office. She also has charge of col- lege transcripts and transfers to other schools. MRS. EDNA H. GILLESPIE Miss Ada Jones has been indefatigable in her efforts to build up for the San Diego Senior High School a school library which is one of the largest and best selected in the state. She has had charge of the glass covered bulletin boards in the main corridor as well as the bulletin board outside the library, and it is because of her untiring efforts that each week we have enjoyed such splendid displays. MISS MARIE McCREADY In a large school it is reassuring to feel that there is someone who sincerely wishes to help and advise. Mrs. Edna H. Gillespie gives invaluable aid to students in helping them to solve program problems and to make vocational plans. Mrs. Gillespie also has charge of giving various standard tests to every student enter- ing this school. A careful record of each student is kept and students are given an opportunity to take the work they are most interested in. MISS ADA JONES
